Changing climate, in addition to land-use changes, are making water supplies increasingly erratic, as climate scientists have predicted.

Clearly visible in the new time series are major land-use changes during the 20th Century that gave enormous nitrate kicks to the hydrology of the Thames basin.

GHGs have risen from around 280ppm two centuries ago to around 370ppm today, thanks chiefly to mankind's use of fossil fuels and, to a lesser degree, to deforestation and other land-use changes.

The realisation that the effects of land-use changes in the Thames catchment take more than 30 years to show themselves fully has profound implications for policies to monitor and manage the river's water quality.

The United Nations recently raised concerns regarding the health and climatic impacts of particles emitted by vegetation fires in regions subject to land use changes and human driven deforestation such as South-East Asia, where they are responsible for 10, 800 premature deaths per year.

These are supply side reforms in fiscal (taxation, especially corporate taxation, and government spending) policies and pro-competition and pro-growth changes in restrictive regulations (especially with respect to labor, agriculture, and land use).
